    I am so glad someone else makes list of what they are bringing. My friends moan at me every year for writing down what i plan to take (although they aren't complaining so much when I they come running to me for plasters/batteries for the torch/pain relief/aftersun etc)

    only thing extra i put on my list is:
    Festival ticket (we got to bristol once before my ex realised he had left his on the fridge)
    train ticket (the first year I went I forgot the return part and had to call my dad to pay for a new one)

    Hence why I now love writing lists! :lol:

    i am so excited For Reading this year - will FINALLY get to see Jack's Mannequin live! :D

    I just hope that people have gotten over the whole Heath Ledger thing. The number of people I saw dressed as The Joker at Reading last year was ridiculous!!!

    We had one of the "cool" people in a mankini camping near us - he stank!

    What are the chances that there will be a whole load of people dressed as Bruno this year?
